5.5.3 Standard NAS types

The `nastypes' shipped with version 1.3 of GNU Radius defines following NAS types:

unix -- UNIX boxes running Finger

This type suits for UNIX boxes running finger service able to return information about dial-up users active on them. To enable finger checking of a unix host add following to your `naslist' file:

#Hostname Shortname Type #-------- --------- ---- nas.name T unix

max-f -- MAX Ascend with Finger

Use this type if you have MAX Ascend terminal server that answers finger queries. The `naslist' entry for such NAS will look like:

#Hostname Shortname Type Flags #-------- --------- ---- ----- nas.name T max-f broken_pass

Note the use of broken_pass flag. It is needed for most MAX Ascend servers (see section 5.4 NAS List -- `raddb/naslist').

max -- MAX Ascend, answering SNMP

Use this type if you have MAX Ascend terminal server that answers SNMP queries. The `naslist' entry for such NAS will look like:

#Hostname Shortname Type Flags #-------- --------- ---- ----- nas.name T max-f broken_pass,community=comm

Replace comm with your actual SNMP community name.

as5300-f -- Cisco AS5300 running finger

as5300 -- Cisco AS5300 answering SNMP

livingston -- Livingston Portmaster

Type livingston queries portmaster using SNMP.
